Affairs of the Country.
PARIS, Aug. 1S.-Premier Rouvier pre-
sided at a banquet given by the mercantile
community this evening. Ministers Fal-
Heres, Herenia and Barley were among the
guests. The Premier, in a speech,
reviewed the work of the Par
liamentary session, and spoke about
the projected legislation, mentioning in par
ticular the scheme for better distribution of
the burden of taxation. He declared that
the government had adhered to its promise
to effect balance in the budget without
having recourse to new taxes. He said the
government was considering the question
of the sale of spirituous liquors and would
endeavOr to reduce taxation thereon. The
Premier expressed himself as willing to ac-
cept the cooperation of the right within
due limits. He deprecated any brusque
movements in the direction of the separa
ton of the church and State. He repeated
his statement that if 200 Republicans voted
against the Government, the Cabinet would
resign. The speech was conciliatory, and
Opportunist in character. There was no
reference to foreign affairs. The Radical
papers will probably be unsparing in in
vectives against the speech. There were
strong detachments of police stationed
around the banquet hall, in expectation Of
disorders. but meme occurred.

BALDwINs REPRESENTATIVE.
DR.. Kenan's Latest Bill Not Well Re

Dr. Kenans Latest Bill Not Well Re-
ceived by the People.
MILLEDGEvILLE, GA, Aug. H.-Dr Ke-
nan, Representative independently from
this circuit, seems disposed to ignore the
wishes of all the right-thinking people of
Baldwin. He has introduced another bill
which. if carried, will throw the affairs OF
our county into utter confusion aud demor-
ilizatIon, and inevitably be the cause, either
directly or indirectly, of sudden litigation,
and disturb the quiet of the county, which
has existed since prohibition went into ef-
feet His bill is to establish what he calls
Board of County Commissioners for
Roads and Revenue, but the provision of
his bill is TO give that board almost unlim-
tied powers His Board of five Commission
ers is TO be elected by popular vote, and
as the county has more than twice as many
negroes as whites, it will evidently be at the
mercy of the negroes. In eecting the board
it provides that no registration shall be re-
quired, and thus some six or seven hundred
defauting taxpayers who could not vote
for anti-prohibitfon, and mostly negroes,
can vote in electing this board In spite Of
the prohibition act that has proven so bene-
fetal this new board will have the privilege
of granting liquor license. Another pro
vision is that none can be on that board ex-
cept those who have resided in the State ten
years. Thus any young man just Of age or
some worthless negro may be elected 10 the
exclusion Of some one who has the interest
of the county at heart. The bill also pro-
vides that three of the five shall be n quo
rum to pass any act they please, for their
powers are very large, and thus three men
may hold the destinies of the county in their
hands.
So odious is this bill, to the better class af
people in the county, that a delegation wos
sent to Atlanta last week to present To the
or 400 white freeholders begging not to pass
this bill. The matter was argued, but
Kenem was allowed time to get up coun-
ter petition.

CoLoRow's CAMPAIGN.
The Indians Well Aware That 1t Is q
Fight to the Death.


DENVER, Aug 1S-A special to the Neuos
from Glenwood Springs says: "The Net0s'
special Norther Courier has learned exclu-
sively that the White River Ute Indians
have sent runners TO the Uncompahgree
camp Blackfoot, Sioux, Crow and other
tribes in Colorado, Wyoming, Montana and
Idaho for aid. Colorow knows he must fight,
that this will be decisive battle and that ii
will end the Indian question forever. He
has determined, it is said, TO have other
tribes brought into the present difficulty
and while the outbreak has been local so
far he wants TO make it a national one
The runners are reported to have started to
the camps of other tribes from Yellow
Jacket Pass Sl,s day night. Duncan Blair,

who is said to be popular with the Utes, is
alleged TO have stated this TO be fact.n
MEEKER UNDER GUARD.
RAWLINGS, WYo., Aug. 1S.-The mail
coach that arrived tonight was escorted out
fifteen miles from Meeker by a heavy guard.
Late ndvices from that point state
that the town is being guarded
night and day by a force of armed
men. A conference was held with the
Indians Tuesday morning, but nothing def
mite was determined. Business men and
large property holders declare that there Is
no Indian war. The militia were expected
to arrive Mt Meeker this morning. They
will perhaps try to drive the Indians from
the State, when the war will begin I'D
earnest.
FIGHT TO THE DEATH.
Everything points to the fact that Colo
row, having dug up the hatchet, the Utes
must now and forever be driven
out. Three companies of cavalry
would be sufficient to take all
the Indians out OF the State if the fight
is forced. The settlements on Bear
and Snake river will no doubt
be destroyed, and many people killed.
as the State militia and few volunteers
will be no match for the Indians. Every
thing in Northwestern Colorado is all ex-
citement. The people are leaving their
homes and crops for places Of safety, while
the Indians are receiving reinforcements
from the Uintah and Uncompahgreo
agencies The outlook is anything b1s
pleasant.
